Always In Hot Water,

There ID custom practiced in
Northern China of using not water
every morning to wash the face
and hands. Men, women and children
must have a basin of clean hot water
when they get up or before they eat
their breakfast, in which to battle
feet and hands at least. Even beg
CARS have hot water or use none at
all. Seasons do not effect the custom.
In summer when one would think a
cold bath would be grateful, hot wa
ter is used all the same. No one
would insult his guest by Offering cold
water to wash in.

Her brother was talking wildly, she said
de did not know what he was saving. In
little time he would be himself again
But calmly as she spoke, her gentle heart
was burning with such an anger as she had
never felt before. How could he-how
could any one-Inake those who loved hin
miserable OILY because he was suffering
himself? Ones own happiness--one's OWL
comfort--'t was such little thing to Lefty
who, indeed. had not been brought up in
the lap of indulgence, that she found il
difficult 10 imagine how it could be chosen
by any human being before the happiness
and comfort of others. 1t had been this
element IN Percy nature-his sunny tenn.
per. and his readiness 20 serve others
which, before his unhappiness, had made
Lefty admire lin. That one disappoint-
| ment should change him so was. she
thought, very pitiful and sad. And then
Lefty, who WAS lnd1lgent toward every one
except herself, began to think that Perc,
did not know how unhappy he made his
friends, and that some one ought To tel
him.
She had no one 10 whom she could sneak
about these things, for Milly would moi
have looked At them as she did, and she
could not have ventured TO speak TO LADY,
Flora of her son, and Colonel Lyndon haf
